Lost now a leg, and then an arm;
Till quite disabled, and put by,
They liv’d on half their salary; 110
While others never came in play,
And staid at home for double pay.
Their kings were serv’d, but knavishly,
Cheated by their own ministry;
Many, that for their welfare slaved, 115
Robbing the very crown they saved:
Pensions were small, and they liv’d high,
